Quell Information

For more information look at our homepage

Quell is the database that does all the stuff here. It's based on Turbopower's Flashfiler and Tamarack's Rubicon. Both were heavily extended to create a real fast Client/Server fulltext database.

Quell was designed to run on cheap/old machines. That's why searches in >100Mbyte databases guarantee a response time of 0.1 seconds for fulltext-search on a P100 with 128Mbyte (of course this does not include Result-Page-Construction, Hit-Highlighting, ...). In fact these pages are hosted on a P100 with 96MB, and we think it is fast enough.

Some features of Quell:

* Client/Server database running with TCP/IP, IPX and Netbios protocol
* can show and index more than 220 fileformats without external viewers/editors
* Filters for almost all Text databases (Datastar, FizTechnik, Dialog, ...)
* customizable Filters for reading (un-)structured Files
* Inter-/Intranet interface via (WIN)CGI or Active Server Pages; complete Search and Edit scripts are shipped
* complete OLE Automation Server; write your Scripts, Macros or User Interface by using the QuellDatabase OLE Object (optional)
* write your own Quell-Macros with completely integrated VBScript (e.g. read mails from MSOutlook)
* integrated Internat-Crawler to index you favorite Internet-Pages
* supervise and index all known files on your harddisk or in certain directories automatically

Some Internet demos:

* Newswatch: a daily new Austrian newspaper search-engine; demonstrates CGI Interface and Internet Crawler: at 3:00 am all daily Austrian newspapers are crawled and indexed.
* 100 Meisterwerke: holds 100 paintings with descriptions, painters, thumbnails, ...; demonstrates how easy it is to use Quell as an Image gallery
* Wiener Trabrennverein: another sample for an Image gallery
* Delphi-Archives: shows how to make different fileformats searchable via Internet
